You bet I am. I've been told many, many times how wrong I am about Benson, I don't know what I am talking about and how good of a player he can be. So you are damn right I am going to say something when he goes out there and does nothing game after game just like I said.
I got zero issues personally with the guy, it would be a cool story if he did well but I want my team to win and to do that, I believe every guy on this roster needs to contribute something whether you play 20 mins or 7 mins. Just skating hard isn't enough.

Nobody has ever told you you're wrong about Benson (other than you saying that he doesn't hit, when he clearly does). I doubt anybody here feels that strongly about the guy. Personally, I would like to see him play more as I think there might be something there, but I've never said that he's awesome or going to be some kind of star.
Likewise, I don't think that anyone here has ever argued against your point that everyone on the roster needs to contribute. But the reality is that the Oilers don't have a good bottom 6. If they did and they were killing it, nobody would be asking for Benson to play more, I would happily stop advocating for the guy. Speaking for myself, my point is that I would rather see a 23 year old with upside given a push over a guy like Turris or Shore, who we know aren't going to contribute anything and are more likely to give up more than they produce on any given night.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
